SSBC conversion kit a123-1

Anyone run this kit with vacuum @10 or less when idle? I have tripple checked everything and the car wont stop. The brake pedal feels good just takes a long time to stop the car. I can't get the front wheels to lock up. Rear distribution is on and no lock up in rear.

Is it the vacuum?

That's very low vacuum for a small single diaphram booster. Can try a larger or dual booster.
Even so, should still be able to force through it. Maybe still have some air in the lines? Can be tough to bleed properly with the combo valve.

Just checked again and the vacuum is @10 in park and @9 in Drive. I had 11inch booster with drum and it worked great. Maybe go back to that or get a electric vacuum pump. The labor and price should be the same either way.

Going with the SSBC electric vacuum pump and canister. Oh well. Do it right or don't do it.
